Hello,

In my program, I created a dBase table from code with a lot of fields of
different field types (ftInteger, ftFloat). When I opened this table in
Excel, the width of the fields were too wide and I had to adjust them so
many times to fix them into the window. I tried to reduced the width by
using precision property as follows, but it did not work:

with FieldDefs.AddFieldDef do
begin
        Name := 'TIME';
        DataType := ftFloat;
        Precision:= 4;
end;

I would be grateful if you could show me how to reduce the displayed field
width.

Regards,
Cocu
